2024 Cup of China Men's Short Program

[Idiote]

Argh, Adam... Still better than Angers, but *le sigh*

 

[labgoat]

Ah-dam about the one mistake

 

[Ruthypegs]

Adam is such an amazing athlete and skater, but this short feels quite rushed, and the music is awful......

 

[Warwick360]

Nice costume. Don't like the choreo, unsurprisingly. And hate the song.

But a valiant effort. Hope he recovers soon.

 

[Idiote]

I will say that the backflip on "voir le monde à l'envers" is a really nice touch.

 

[YuBluByMe]

This was better than that hot mess in France, but I don’t like the program. The opening choreography is similar to what he’s done before. His skating and jumps are much too wild and makes everything look sloppy and clumsy. The back flip is also very unneccesary.

 

[Karoltyna]

It's a fair score, but Adam...

 

[labgoat]

This song's use is bothering me a lot - at work we had a 25 year old staffer take her life by jumping off our parking deck. Seeing skaters exploit this music is grating on my nerves and making me very, very sad.

 

[TallyT]

I am sick of backflips and cartwheels, but that was much much better than his first GP.

 

[Warwick360]

And so now remains only one hoodie from the hood.

 

[Ruthypegs]

Aside from the popped salchow, I enjoyed Dennis's programme the most - so much interesting choreography and expression.

Really enjoyed Shun and Mikhael's skates too.

I don't really see why this music upsets you more than L'Enfer which explicitly mentions suicide ?

My condolences, it's really hard losing someone like this

That's sad to hear. But I think skaters should be allowed to explore every sort of themes out there. Though I still wish this music would not be hoisted on us. That falsetto is too much.

I'm not sure this is the right style for him. I didn't feel anything. Even the Gangsta short program suits him better.

I'm really sorry to hear that - that's so sad. I hope you're OK.

I think it is the wailing in SOS that gets me - like a cry for help...

 

[labgoat]

Getting there, it is just so sad that we could not prevent this. It's what we do, sometimes we can't.

I'm so sorry to hear that, my deepest condolences. I hope you and your colleagues received a lot of support.

It is very much a meaning of the song. Though it is also a poetic and somewhat hopeful one.

Sending you a big big hug from France

 

[labgoat]

I'm so sorry to hear that, my deepest condolences. I hope you and your colleagues received a lot of support.

We had therapy provided and our therapy dogs were the best healers.
